Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Wigan Athletic are aiming to end their search for a striker by signing Turkey international Fatih Tekke. The 27-year-old has been looking to leave his current club Trabzonspor throughout the summer and Wigan hope to win the chase for his services. Trabzonspor have previously been reluctant to sell the prolific hot shot, who scored 30 goals in the Turkish league last season. But with Trabzonspor failing to reach the UEFA Champions League group phase, they may be forced to part with Tekke before the close of the transfer window. Latics boss Paul Jewell has missed out on the hit-man twice in the past but is pressing ahead with a third attempt to take Tekke to The JJB Stadium. "Tekke is a player we are interested in," said Jewell. "We have tried to get him a couple of times before and he is one we are pursuing again at the moment." Jewell is desperate to bring in a new forward before the end of the month after selling Nathan Ellington to West Brom, and missing out on Dean Ashton and Robert Earnshaw. But to avoid further frustration in the transfer market, Jewell will have to fend off interest from clubs across the continent to bring Tekke to The Premiership. Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin have all been interested in Tekke over the summer and may rival Wigan for his signature. Please tell me our club is at least aware of his availability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Is he any good like? 16692[/snapback] A Turkish international who scored 30 goals last season would be a better option than what we have available right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 How much for him? I checked his stats and he seemed to just have a good year last year. What kind of striker is he? Fast? technical? Brick Shit house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I doubt he'd favour Wigan over those clubs. And we already have the Turkish connection of Emre, which he would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
